There seem to be a lot of resources on how to apply for your first job, or your second job, and often within particular functions or industries. There seems to be much less information about how to apply specifically for second / next level management or executive roles. Most importantly, it is unclear what sort of skills or experience matter most - so that if I lack them, I can start working on them.
I started as a business development executive and was promoted to manager after about two years. My role completely changed and I became more of a coordinator and company representative, delegating to, coaching and growing my juniors in their careers. Just one year later, I am starting to consider my next move: I always got above-average performance reviews, never a single negative feedback and I like the company culture; but I am a bit disappointed with my current compensation and work life balance.
I am unsure whether my current skills and experience will help me qualify for and succeed as a manager in other companies - so what exactly will a hiring company look for in a new manager's CV/resume?

Unfortunately, this has gotten closed because we don't readily answer "what skills to learn" for a specific type of job - it quickly becomes too specific to be a useful generalized answer. Which is too bad, given that I think there should be a way to discuss the question first time manager job searches as a relatively common case across industries. I encourage the idea of editing, and I'll think myself as I'd be really interested in the answers (and in sharing - I'm job #3 as a manager)

@Bethlakshimi I agree and have voted to reopen. This question is on topic and in scope. We can address how to format and arrange a resume in general for this situation.
